Miss Lizzie Boyd, the we'll known city
evangelist, has made the folio wing report
Of her work for the month Of January to
Rsv. D. A. Cunningham, who furnishes It
to tho press:
My pen utterly falls to give q hundreth
part OF even ono months work among
homes that are choerless and dreary, un-
sottened by grace, and unli2hted by
beauty. l may not spaas of the mute,
yet mighty appeals for uplifting help that

enter their d yellings. AS have gone forth
with Him who il mot willing that any
should perish," 1 have found much OF my
work to be among a class far above those
already mentioned. I have carried the
messags OF life to one hundred and
eighty-e:1 familieB during the pact
mouth. Among them the gambler,
the saloon-keeper, tho pronounced
ekeptic, and tho prostitute; all Of whom
have received me courteo1slv and kindly;
occasional inviting ME 10 offer prayers in

when 1t wss cxyedient. Found thirteen
children not attending Sunday School; all
OF whom gave promise to attend In the
nesr future; come OF them I have made
Arrangements to clothe. Thirty.six cases
Of illness have been visited; to many OF
them I havs been permitted to carry
blessings in tbs form Of spiritual comfort,
slso temporal. A few friends to
tina work have thouSh!iully autici-
pa:ed necsssitors cases among the
sick, not mot with public charity

with which to meet these special needs. l
have given 2s0 tracts. Together with my
